After rolling Bureviy rocket launchers out of their hiding places in the woods of the Donetsk region, Ukrainian artillery teams can quickly start firing rounds at their enemy. RFE/RL correspondent Maryan Kushnir met crews there who say they are regularly stopping the advance of Russian infantry with the upgraded version of the Soviet Uragan system. Mounted on a heavy-duty Tatra vehicle from the Czech Republic with improved controls, they claim it gives them an advantage over their Russian foes.
